The invention of the mobile phone has undoubtedly revolutionized the way people communicate and influenced
every aspect of our lives. The issue is whether this technological innovation has (23) ______ more harm than good.
In order to answer the question, we must first turn to the types of consumers. Presumably, most parents (24)
______ are always worrying about their children’s safety buy mobile phones for them to track their whereabouts. We
can also assume that most teenagers want mobile phones to avoid missing out on social contact. In this context, the
advantages are clear. (25) ________, we cannot deny the fact that text messages have been used by bullies to
The widespread use of mobile phone has, out of question, affected adult consumers too. What employee, on the
way home from work, would be reluctant to answer a call from their boss? Apparently, only 18% of us, according to
a survey, are willing to switch off our mobile phones once we've left the office.
Admittedly, mobile phones can be intrusive but there are obvious benefits to possessing one. Personally speaking,
they are invaluable when it comes to making social or business arrangements at short (27) _______. They also

<b>correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 28 to 32. </b>
Telecommunicating is a form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices. For
employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the
location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when
the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer from a distant site and transmit the material to
<i>their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8.7 million </i>
telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant
<i>as predicted when Business Week published "The Portable Executive" as its cover story a few years ago. </i>
Why hasn't telecommuting become more popular?
<b>Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many </b>
managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across
the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby
complicating the manager's responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are often reluctant to accept the
opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they
will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting. Some
people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away
from the office.

A. the lack of interaction with a group B. the different system of supervision

A. More than 8 million B. More than predicted in Business Week
C. Fewer than estimated in USA Today D. Fewer than last year
A. the manager of a group of telecommuters B. a reporter
C. a telecommuter D. a statistician
31. The word "resistance" could best be replaced by_______.

The search for alternative sources of energy has led in various directions. Many communities are burning
garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Converting waste products to gases or oil
is also an efficient way to dispose of wastes. Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from
coal, oil shale, and coal tars. But to date, that process has proven expensive. Other experiments are
underway to harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal power is also being tested. Some experts
expect utility companies to revive hydroelectric power derived from streams and rivers. Fifty years ago
hydroelectric power provided one third of the electricity used in the United States, but today it supplies only 4
percent. The oceans are another potential source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to convert the

You have probably heard about the unappealing dried foods that astronauts eat in space, such as the
chalky ice cream and powdered pea soup. That means all the water is removed from these foods. But did
you know that there are more than 90 different food and drink items on NASA’s space menu? NASA is the
American government organisation concerned with spacecraft and space travel. NASA is an abbreviation for
“National Aeronautics and Space Administration”.
Many food items are dehydrated to prevent bacteria growing, so water must be added before
consumption. But some foods look like those ready meals you find in the supermarkets, made hot in the
microwave. In fact, the chefs have recently provided some gorgeous meals for the space crew. Astronauts
choose their individual food selections on Earth, getting to taste it all first beforehand.
Drinking is another matter. Although much is brought up with the astronauts and in cargo deliveries, a lot is
recycled from human waste water. Yes, the water they use could have been someone else’s urine a day ago.
You cannot be squeamish if you are an astronaut!
